POP CAN is The Magazine’s bi-monthly survey crafted for Canadian youth. It invites young readers to share opinions about the topics that shape their everyday lives and to help steer what appears in future issues. The aim is clear: capture authentic voices from a generation that listens, thinks, and wants to influence the conversations around school, hobbies, music, technology, and everyday experiences.
Entries can be submitted by mail or online at themagazine. Each entry invites candid feedback and, when eligible, offers a chance to win a $100 iTunes gift card or to designate a charity of the winner’s choice. The process is straightforward and friendly, designed to encourage real, thoughtful responses without pressure or formality.
Eligibility is simple: entrants must be under 18 years of age and residents of Canada. While POP CAN is tailored for Canadian youth, The Magazine understands that readers in the United States and other regions may also benefit from similar opportunities as they arise in the future. The goal is to create a broad, inclusive space where young voices can be heard across North America.
To reflect current timing, the latest edition of the survey has a defined closing date in the calendar year. The entry window stays open long enough for readers to craft thoughtful responses, with the closing date set for December 31, 2025. Participants should submit their thoughts before the deadline to be considered in this cycle.
The scope of POP CAN extends beyond prizes. It seeks to map what matters most to younger audiences, capturing opinions on music trends, gaming, classroom life, fashion, social media, and the way technology shapes daily routines. The responses help The Magazine understand which topics resonate most with readers and what stories might be of interest in upcoming issues.
Winners are determined by a random draw from all eligible submissions. The prize is a $100 iTunes gift card, or the equivalent donation to a charity chosen by the winner. The Magazine notifies winners through official channels and arranges prize delivery in a timely manner, ensuring a smooth, transparent process.
Personal data collected through POP CAN is handled with care. The Magazine commits to safeguarding information and using it strictly for editorial purposes related to the survey. Only essential details are requested to verify entries, and privacy standards guide every step of the process. Participants can take part with confidence, knowing their information is treated with respect and discretion.
Participating in POP CAN gives readers a direct line to influence the magazine’s content. Each response contributes to shaping future topics, features, and discussions featured in upcoming issues. The survey serves as a channel for youth voices across Canada, with an awareness that readers in nearby regions may also follow along and anticipate similar opportunities in the times ahead.
